(guest or Dom0) with Grub2 in the middle. PVH, at least for the

Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
to support booting a Xen PVH guest via grub2 using the standard x86
boot entry we need a way fro grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
kernel.
For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the
